"Only surprise was that it’s a neighborhood of condo’s as opposed to a traditional hotel. Highly recommend for families looking for a bit more calm from the big hotels in Poipu. The pools are fun. Property is on a stunning cliffs edge with a fabulous sunset. Our condo was wonderful and well equipped. It felt like a “home away from home” and is a fabulous homebase when exploring the island."

Top Hanalei River Hotel Reviews

Walk to Hanalei Bay, beachfront & town; w/AC in 3BR House for 6

10/10 Excellent

"Grace is a great host. She went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and comfortable during a difficult time in Hanalei. Would definitely recommend."

Hanalei Bay View Retreat - An Artistic home overlooking Hanalei Bay

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful, unique, and roomy house, full of character. It did not feel like a vacation rental. It was more like a friend with really excellent taste, and the wherewithal to indulge it, had invited us to stay in their home while they were away. The view of sea and mountains from the very comfortable lanai was a daily pleasure. The kitchen had every utensil, dish, pot, pan, and appliance a person could want to make and serve a complex meal. The house was comfortable, and the living area upstairs was especially filled with light. My personal fave may have been the bathroom with a gigantic bright yellow soaking tub overlooking a solid wall of vegetation from gigantic windows. The architecture of the house is unusual and carefully thought out, such that each room has windows on at least two sides, allowing for soft breezes to waft through. And I almost forgot to mention the yoga room, which was simple but lovely. Quirks to be aware of, especially if like us you arrive at night: the house opens onto a courtyard, and there are separate keys for the ground floor rooms (bedrooms, laundry room, and entrance to the stairs up to main living level). We were a little confused at first, but we figured it out! And the house is surrounded by lush nature, so don’t be surprised if a tiny lizard sneaks its way in at some point. Our hostess and house were extremely responsive and kind. Thank you both!"

Tiki Home - Unique Custom Home Steps to the Beach and Town

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had an incredible time at the Tiki Home. Tiki Home is truly well set up for a family vacation in Kauai. Numerous considerations by the host really make the stay easy for a family vacation such as multiple cribs, board games, a fitness area in the house, beach toys, a wagon and chairs for the beach, bikes, etc. In addition, the home is outfitted with most everything you need, right down to spices and ziploc bags for snacks. The host was very easy to connect with, sent clear check in instructions, and was very helpful with the entire stay. We would definitely stay here again."

Paradise at Prettyville Kauai, waterfall & ocean View, AC, sleep 8-10, BigAloha

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome view and close to everything."

Nalu Hanalei, Stunning Home by the Beach TVR#5123

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful home. It has a fabulous view from the big front deck, a very well equipped kitchen, plenty of storage space and is comfortably but nicely decorated. The bedrooms are all in the back of the house so aren't very light but the beds are very comfortable and bathrooms are also clean, nicely lit and well equipped. The only issue was that on day one we realized the a/c and fan in the en suite bedroom didn't work so we had to keep that room open to the living room or use a very loud portable window vented a/c unit which they brought over once they knew the problem couldn't be fixed during our stay. The non-functioning fan wasn't addressed. Overall we had a wonderful stay and I'm sure the a/c will be functional in the future."
